Great vision, awful bugs

I really like this app. It's really powerful. However, I do have a feeling that updating it isn't much of a priority because if you have a demanding workload (e.g. lot's of channels, VST's, all of the fun stuff), be sure to expect some crashes. The layout editor is also terribly glitchy.

Almost great

I use MainStage for all my live gigs and it's really superb. However, some updates aren't as stable as they should - i.e. you simply cannot (and shouldn't) explain to your audience that your rig is failing. I would like to see extra quality control, so I can update without worrying everytime.

Problèmes de stabilité

Avec un Macbook Pro I7 dual core 8 GB de mémoire sous Mountain Lion, Mainstage 3 coupe parfois le son de toutes les pistes pendant une ou deux secondes. La version 2 le faisait également. Embêtant lors d'un concert car les séquences se perdent ainsi que le clic !

J'ai également remarqué que Mainstage était un gros consommateur de ressources. Ceci expliquerait peut être cela.

C'est dommage car c'est un programme génial quand il tourne bien.
